Celebrating effort, resilience and the little wins that matter most...

My Big Trophy of Small Wins is a simple but powerful printable trophy designed to help children recognise and celebrate their small wins, building confidence and resilience.

About This Resource

So often, children focus on what went wrong, this resource is all about focussing on those tiny moments that went right - the ones that sometimes pass us by.

My Big Trophy of Small Wins is a printable reflection tool designed to help children celebrate the everyday achievements that might otherwise go unnoticed. The big trophy template gives children space to write, draw or decorate their personal wins - whether that’s trying something new, staying calm when it was tricky, asking for help, or simply keeping going.

It’s about shifting the focus from outcomes to effort, and helping children see that progress comes in small, powerful moments.
